I tried to do this same cover many months ago, I got selfish and impatient and canceled it, and I deleted it from my computer. This time I was able to fit in as much characters that I could think of that had a usable 3D render. The front is plain but I couldn't come up with any other ideas. A lot of the renders are color edited and darkness edited even though you can't tell so everyone matches lighting wise.

Toejam was hard to find because the artwork for Toejam & Earl III is rare, I was able to render him out and use him. The middle screenshot was made from scratch, it looks half-assed but a lot of work and time went into it as well as finding renders and making a character roster.
Many of the characters were obscure ideas that I wanted to execute, and as well from suggestions in the WIP thread.

You could say that the entire cover is uninspired, many of the ideas for the back came from the Smash Bros. official, this game is a Sega version of brawl in HD for the most part.

tleeart suggested that Ristar should be in even though I considered it before but couldn't find any artwork of him that wasn't in 16-bit. Tim made his own Ristar for the cover and credit goes to him for it.

Yoshistar made a screenshot for this cover along time ago and lucky for me it was never deleted from where he uploaded it. I was able to use it, credit to him for the screenshot.

Credit to everyone who suggested a character.

When are you gonna increase through the ranks to atleast an 8 or 9. I mean, your boxes just keep getting better and better and you deserve to go higher for all your efforts put into these. For example of your successful box is this. Your giving what the people want and I respect you for that. I also hope everyone could benefit like you and follow on to your footsteps.
Keep up the good work!

Great job here, though I personally think the front looks too empty somehow, maybe due to the fact that there's quite a lot of background portions visible through the holes between the characters. Also not really fond of the screenshots' borders.
